Is there plenty of seating available for other passengers? They are high school boys. I am sure they would sit up straight if someone needed a seat. You need to get a life.

You seriously think school boys in identifiable school clothing from a school that can and will kick them out for bad behavior are going to jump you? Please.

Well, you might want to try to get on at Tenleytown.

Every not very.

I lived in Poland in the early 90’s. Very young person got up and gave up their seats to older people on the buses. Always. If they didn’t someone yelled at them. It was such a nice change from the US.

I think they get called out because they tend to be wearing gear that identifies the school.

That said, unless they were taking seats on a full train I don’t see this as a big issue.

This. I see no issue with it. Not sure why OP is acting so prissy. Her kids are probably driven to school in fancy suvs

No issue with them putting their nasty feet on the seats and taking up double the amount they need in a crowded car? I can see where the boys would pick up this horrible behavior. It's ok. I'll teach them manners for you.

Inconsiderate behavior, sure. Horrible? Come on.

This post is wild. I’ve had to ask adults to move their bags so I can sit. It’s not a huge deal and it’s not just kids. Im with the PP who said they would let it go if they’re not cussing, yelling, fighting, etc. Or just say something in the moment to remind them that they’re still in public and being observed.

They are tired. Give them a break. IF someone needs to sit down I would assume they would offer up their seat.
